We would again remind our readers of the political address to beiv n by Sir R._ J. g Cartwright, M. P. for Centre Huron., in Cardno's Hall, Seaforth, on .'"uesday evening next. If the weather favorable we expect: that very many t mill avail themselves of this opportunity - 'tf again listening to Mr. Cartwright. : notice that his address is already receiving attention from the Nail an and other Ministerial journals. These jour- nals have good cause to bear in mind 'the-menmber for Contre Huron. They know his power, and it is not surprising that this anticipated shaking up of the dry bones should cause them to tremble in advance. The Date Zulu War. It has already been I announced that the Zulu king has fallen Tato British hands,having been captured on the 28th of August by a detachment of dragoons under command of Major Marten. The capture of Cetewayo ends the: war; for the Zulu monarch was not only the chief warrior of his nation, but its master spirit in tactics and policy. His star . has now, no • doubt, set forever, and hisictur p segue is 11 z is e - form with its coat of leopard skin, h crimson sash and eagle plumes, w j brave tree field no more. Thus it thata war that ought never to have bnc gun ends with a tolerable assiira that it will never be repeated. The war, although it lasted only eight -' mon nus, was an eventful one. It has been short,, sharp, and decisive. The terrible:lattle of Isandula was fought on. the 21st of January, and resulted most disastrously tas ` ousl y to the English arms. It required no great wisdom then to predict as a result of the Zulu victory, the ultimate overthrow of the, Zulu ,power. Precedent and experience fully nstified such a prediction. p .tion. Bd ,. con- sidering the larocligious disparity of the belligerent f 'ces then confronting each other, and e vast difficulties of the trait ,r..l, sea -,c e -for an invader, - the _-;•- aflapse has been wonderfully sud- den. When to these considerations are added the splendid fighting qualities of the Zulus, the uncommon ability with which:for the most part they were han- dled, and the extensive areas covered in the campaign, it is impossible to deny that the English should be credited with a brilliant achievement Properly speaking, the English had no ' business in` Zululand at all. But ()nee there, their attitude and de- mands have: been just and humane. They asked that the indiscriminate in- fliction of the death penalty should be modified among the `Zulus and that 3etewayo should introduce trial by jury.. „Sae at first refused, then consented, and finally broke in act the compact he had made in words. In July of last year a body of his troops invaded Natal, d some refugee women who had from Zululand, took them back um:e again and executed them. The �glish authorities demanded the sur - der of the leaders of this invading a. The Zulu king refused, and was the consequence. The battle indula made Cetewayo and his 'rs believe themselves invincible. compelled the English to make ae war conclusive. A large part of the British force was annihilated on at fatal day, and the commander, ..cord Chelmsford, was obliged to flee arecipitately acre as the Tuegla river. The outs__ ast,, followed this discs er _ was bitter erred persistent. A de- ad for the removssl of Lord Chelnas- d- arose, and was`. hotly pressed by Feral of the most it fluential of Lon - an journals. The kQueen,: however, stood the firm friend of that officer, whose gratitude to his royal .protector should be unbounded; ;for she not only stood between him and disgrace, but .lr€gib el d' him to redeem himself hand- .merely afterward by whining the deet siva Rattle of Ulundi. ,Thin was done some risk and some 4.ost. While the game government refua,ed under royal ressure, to remove Lord Chelmsford, ley took the qualified step, with oer- r =imitations as regards time, of Ceding him. This step was soon. '.rds finally taken, and Sir Gar- Isely followed with heavy rein: 'its to the Cape. By making a ash for Ulundi, and throwing into a position to fight four its number of_ the enemy Lord lsford was able to anticipate his cal supereess-ion as director of the ?aign and to gain the victorythat at once redeemed , his personal and the honor, of the British ar The conflict thus ended will raoti- .cally bring a new and extensive raet of the earth under civilized laws. What- ever the rights of the quarrel at the outset the end thus corm passed must be sailed a good one. Not many genera- tions ago enera.tionsago men were hanged in England o K red for stealing loaves of bread, au for of- fences not less trivial capital unish- ment has been repeatedly inflic ed by Cetewayo up to the re present time The modifications for which. the British went to war will now be enforced and a consequent ameliorating influence will extend among otier -savage tribes .fur- ther north and d oward wa re the ' Int er' I Africa.

Of grain there was an immense quantity of the several varieties, and the quality fully corresponded with the quantity. The Canada Company's prize for the best fall wheat, has this year gone to Tuckersmith, Mr. William Bell, of the London Road, being the fortunate winner. It was a most mag- nificent sample of wheat. In fruit, especially apples, there was a good show, the display being well in accord with the bountiful crop of this season. Although the display in dairy products was not so large as in some former, years, the samples of butter exhibition appeared to be of the choicest quality. c $ y. As proof of this we may state that the tub of salt butter which took the first prize. was sold before moved from' the hall for 15 pound. In the ladies' es de there was a very nice display, not so varied as we have s The coarser articles, such stockings, mats,•&c., were no ly represented as in some for But in the more fancy article as in quilts and counterpa a good show. We may tion the display of Canadi oths by Mr. Van {'gmoud, of the, Sea- rth woolen factory, and the very audsome display of cloths, made and nmade, and gents' furnishings, by asrs. Hally & Anderson, of the Oak all Clothing store, Seaforth. This rm occupied a whole corner of the all to themselves, and the and neat display was much ad visitors. In this part of th couple of snowy white Po pups, belonging to Mr. G. E. ,He neatly housed in a glass case, much attention and created mirth by their playful antics, of tapestry work, an heirloom an6ient origin, being some fiv hundred years old, exhibited Fulton, of Egmondville, also a considerable inspection. In fi there was but a shall display, some of the specimens were v for' amateur artists. Messy Brothers had several fine instruments,, and the sweet m Messrs order was maintained, and there were. very few who were even the.worse of an over indulgence in " barley bree." In fact, it would be difficult to find a more orderly or respectable -appearing people than those who assembled in town on Friday. That we are able to say this on an occasion when so many from all quarters are gathered together at one central point, is not a little creditable to our people; The West Riding Show. Mundell, 2d Geo.
